Abstract

"Ever since Winston Churchill popularized the term Black Dog to describe the hellish bouts of depression he experienced for much of his life, it has become the shorthand for the condition suffered by millions of people from all walks of life. There are many different breeds of Black Dog, and he is an equal-opportunity mongrel.

"Matthew Johnsone's illuminating, moving, and ultimately uplifting book provides insights into what it is like to live with a Black Dog and the strength and support that can be found within and around us to tame it. A Black Dog can be a persistent, debilitating beast, but bringing him out into the open is the first step toward recovery. Stunningly illustrated and deeply inspiring, this book is a must-have for anyone who has ever lived with a Black Dog or knows someone who has"--from the back cover.
